Wear something that looks great on you when attending business meetings. You need not own a hundred different suits; just invest in one or two quality outfits for business meetings. Quality, not quantity, matters most here. For slim men, shirts from Zara, Diesel, and Hugo Boss tend to look good. Calvin Klein and Boss are also particularly good for slightly heavier men. For women, go professional with a skirt or slacks. Dark colors tend to have a more serious, business mood—for both men and women. We have a tendency to rely too much on PowerPoint and other presentation tools. Instead, focus on repeating your core points several times throughout your presentation or meeting. Don’t resort to “hey”, “ya know” or “yeah” in a professional business meeting. “Yes”, “if you please” and “are you following?” are more suitable. Move slower than you think may be necessary. Nod your head slowly; talk slowly; gesture slowly and with great confidence. Collect relevant contact information especially when someone doesn’t work at your company. Make sure you exchange business cards. It is polite to ask if they prefer to be contacted by phone or email; also, if you plan on following up with them, do give the person a time frame. “I’ll be sure to give you a call next week after we talk it over” is a far better approach than randomly contacting the person on MSN three months after your business meeting.
